ABSTRACT:
Herbs are highly esteemed source of medicine since ancient history. These plants and phytoconstituents are rich source of active principles which themselves are therapeutically active or act as lead compounds for the synthesis of newer drugs. These plants are relatively safe and are free from toxic effects and hence are considered as better choice to treat diseases, when compared to allopathic medicines. Such an example described is the use of herbs by the primitive folklore as diuretics. Diuretics increase the rate of urine flow and are used to adjust the volume and composition of body fluids in a variety of clinical situations. Hence,diuretics remain the cornerstone for the treatment of many pathological conditions. As we are back to herbals, the present article gives a brief review about some folklore herbs that are used as diuretics, which are proved to be effective in many investigations.
